People obtain whatever they need in their life by either purchasing it or borrowing it. We can even take the help of someone else's intellect to solve our problems but can we ever buy or borrow someone else's Faith? No! It is impossible.
Faith can never be borrowed. It has to emerge from within every individual. Strong faith gives immediate results. Faith is inner strength... it is subtle strength... that is born in the heart. Once it is born, it has to be properly nurtured otherwise doubt, superstition; lack of understanding etc, will strangulate it to death.
Otherwise the strength of faith is unlimited, infinite... all those who have experienced the power of faith, never get disturbed by others or unfavorable circumstances. What they gain is unimaginable and cannot be expressed in words.
Spiritual endeavors undertaken with faith helps one to overcome vices emerging out of our five senses (kashays).
